    Design Proposal and Pedestrian Demand Analysis for the Planned Buckhead MARTA Station Access Bridge
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-12) Conable, Nathan R.
    Buckhead has developed in a similar fashion to other centers surrounding central Atlanta. This means that the development has facilitated rapid business growth and accessibility by car. The area took a major step forward in terms of regional auto accessibility when the Georgia 400 freeway opened in the early 1990s. However, the area is in danger of choking on its growth as levels of service on the major arterials are at or below level of service (LOS) E for much of the day. In the first section of this report the transportation problems in Buckhead are placed in a regional and political context. Additionally, current efforts to improve the transportation system are presented and a project is proposed that would augment these efforts. This proposal, for a busway and pedestrian path across Georgia 400 is explored in the remainder of the report. The second and third sections provide an analysis of the potential pedestrian demand for the proposed facility and a capacity analysis, respectively. The report concludes with a series of drawings that show the proposed facility design.
